Day 5 : FROM THE TRANQUIL WATERWAYS OF THE MEKONG TO THE FLAVOURS OF SAIGON BY NIGHT
After breakfast, depart bustling Ho Chi Minh City and journey south towards the enchanting Mekong Delta – a region often referred to as the “rice bowl” of Vietnam. This fertile network of rivers, canals, and lush green landscapes is the lifeblood of the country’s agricultural heartland and a window into traditional rural life.
Your day will be spent cruising along tranquil waterways on a traditional boat, passing stilt houses, vibrant floating markets, and peaceful fishing villages. Observe local artisans at work, discover how coconut candy and rice paper are made, and stroll through tropical orchards filled with exotic fruits.
The atmosphere is serene, the pace is slow, and the scenery is unforgettable – a striking contrast to the fast-moving streets of the city. As the day draws to a close, return to Ho Chi Minh City, enriched by the sights, sounds, and flavours of Vietnam’s southern heartland.
